Opti-EPA 500

Opti-EPA 500 Marine Lipid Concentrate

Opti-EPA 500, by Douglas Laboratories, is concentrated marine fish oil, providing eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 300 mg) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 200 mg).

Functions

The omega-3 fatty acid EPA is the direct precursor for the prostaglandins E1 and E3, whereas DHA is of primary importance for the structural integrity of neuronal membranes. DHA is essential for brain and visual development and is vital throughout pregnancy to support fetal brain growth and formation of the retina and visual cortex.

As the most abundant fatty acid in the brain, adequate amounts of DHA are needed throughout infancy and adulthood for ongoing optimal function. Low levels of DHA may adversely influence behavior and mental performance, and have been correlated with changes in disposition, memory, and vision and other neurological conditions.

Indications

Opti-EPA™ 500 is a more convenient source of EPA and DHA than regular marine fish oils for those who would like to supplement their diets with higher amounts of these important omega-3 fatty acids.
